Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 04, 2020

Awww, I want to be a part of your cozy cat pile!

Ah, coziness off the chart! Just what we need right now.

Let’s light a fire and get out the fuzzy blankets.

Nice to see such harmony in the cat pile…….all are very zen, no fighting or fussing. Naturally Pucky has whipped together an informative chart!

Uh oh, if someone’s touching Elvis’ tail he may attack everyone in the room. That’s no way to end a cozy nap.

Lets see the cozyness coefficient muplitplued by the fuffliness factor to the power of the floor’s gravitational pull = my calculator breaking.

They have reached optimum nap temperature, something I hope to achieve some afternoon this week.

Very cozy till someone has to pee.

Want to share! I had to go to an appointment. Fairly early in the morning… so I didn’t turn on the heat. One of my cats, Spider, is addicted to my sweaters. She will insist on climbing in and snuggling up against my chest. Most of my old sweaters are snagged because she has done this so many times. But I had on a ‘new’ sweater… a sweater that doesn’t work well with my coat. So when I was about to leave… I pulled off my sweater… and left it in a spot that was reachable by the cats. When I got home… I wondered why the sweater was extra lumpy. Spider had found the sweater and had worked her way through the neck hole and was inside the sweater. Just a bit of her back was exposed. I carefully reached in and scratched her on the chin… to tell her I understood. I left her alone… but regretted it a couple of hours later. I was cold! After I snatched it back… here comes Spider. Not necessarily a Cat Pile… but we keep each other warm!

Naturally, Lupin’s on his back. And Elvis can’t sleep. (Someone keeps talking)

Lupin and Goldie are in the same snuggle-pile together! =D

A cat pile is a must on cold winter days.

not sure humans are feeling the same. How are you feeling?

Elvis’s tail is doomed.

Lupin’s position doesn’t seem quite cozy to me. More like floating in a pool!

My foot fell asleep once due to a cat napping on it. As much as I’d like to be buried under a pile of cats, I also like being able to feel my limbs!

Ah, lovely. A simple theme but warm and cozy local news.

I’m so jealous. It’s 2:00 a.m. and the cats are cozy and sleeping but I have insomnia and am reading comics. And shopping.

Ahhh a kindle of kitties!

I feel yesterday’s strip is more appropriate today.

Lupin toe beans and foot pad!

OT. Yen

Rear Toe Beans sticking up in the air! We do the cat pile here too, in a favorite chair. I took a photo recently of Gilligan using Dewey as a pillow.

A cozy pile of cats can also be a child’s counting lesson. ☺

OMC!! What a cute cuddle puddle.

I’ve been part of that cat pile, usually on my lap, and usually when I really need to get up.

Don’t want to be a downer peraon, but, I have bad news. I took Josephine Louisa to the Vet yesterday. She had a lump in her stomach. She is now in the Catnip Fields. My baby girl is gone. Argh.

Updating this reminder:

Just a reminder that Georgia has 4 paintings in the Alley Cats and Angels auction here is the link: https://event.gives/acaa and here are the direct links:

Lupin has leapt into the lead with Pucky not far behind him.

This is Burt at Traffic Central. Looks like a major pile-up on the 405. Back to you in the studio.

Oh, I could sleep on the floor

With my cat friends, one of four,

Never get up ‘till it’s time to eat

Sometimes I feel so bold

But right now it’s really cold,

So I’ll just stay right here, but I feel my tail is asleep

…….

Cheer up sleepy kitties

Oh, what can it mean to a

To the three feline kings and the

Home ruling queen?

…….

We may get up soon

If there’s a sunbeam or food to eat

Now you know how happy we can be

Oh, our good times start and end

Sharing with all our orb friends,

Right now all is well and life is sweet!

…….

Cheer up sleepy kitties

Oh, what can it mean to a

To the three feline kings and the

Home ruling queen?

Lupin & Goldie piled in together!

Dogpile on de raaaabbit!

Look! Cats do have thumbs. You can see Pucky’s in panel four.

You’ve got a cute way of sleeping

With you, snuggling is an art

Add 3 more bodies and you’re rocking

Like a cozy pile that’s off the charts

I’m spinning down, you know

Yawns and pleasant dreams, you know

You make me feel like napping, I’m gonna nap the day away

You make me feel like napping, I’m gonna nap the day away

You make feel like napping

I feel like napping, napping (whoo, whoo!)

Nap the day away (yeah!)

I feel like napping (whoo!) napping, aah!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo (& many more)

And if you’ll let me stay

We’ll nap today away

You make me feel like napping, I want to nap the day away

(Leo Sayer / Vincent Jr. Poncia – You Make Me Feel Like Dancing)

The final panel is what happens when me and my siblings wrestle each other. It’s just a pile.

I could use a cat pile about now.

yay! a puck chat, I’ve missed them. or if they have been present I’ve just overlooked them.

OT: New kittens this morning

During the summer my cats are aloof individuals. During the winter, they are best sleeping buddies.

Truly sorry for your loss

Ah, Georgia Dunn, a cozy cat pile is exactly what we need today of all days. Thanks for this.

So very sorry, LadyPeterW. Gremlin, Bill, and I sending you boops, purrs, and ankle support. :(

And when everyone wakes up, we’re going to have Bath-Mania!

I love the pun that the coziness levels climb literally off the chart.

Today is:

International Stress Awareness Day: Gee, ya think? Anyone not aware of stress at this point is almost certainly dead—and possibly happy about it.

National Waiting for the Barbarians Day: No need to wait, they are already here. Actually this day celebrates a poem, “Waiting for the Barbarians” by C.P. Cavafy. It’s worth a read, especially today.

Use Your Common Sense Day: If ever there was an oxymoron, “common sense” is. Common sense is about as common as Unsepttrium, atomic number 173, but slightly more abundant than Unobtainium, Z = 174. Like all the post-actinide elements, common sense is also unstable, and rapidly breaks down in the presence of emotion.

National Candy Day: Had to end this on a sweet note. Perhaps some candy will help reduce the stress, especially if it’s chocolate. Try to use some common sense and not over-indulge … oh, never mind …

OT:The battle of the teacup, I had to concede defeat last night, Schnurri lapped up my milk tea before I could take a second sip. At breakfast he allowed me two cups the third cup – I was distracted – was his.

Elvis, your tail isn’t asleep. It’s just hyper-comfy! >^.^<

A cozy cat pile is just what I need right now!

My Fluffy and Butterbar can’t catpile without growling. Mostly on Fluffy’s part. He has to let this impertinent chit of a feline know its place…but can’t refuse a catpile so he compromises.

OT: Spreadsheets

We’ve had several pairs of cats over the years. Even in the coldest weather nary a cat pile. We’ve also had cats who ignored boxes. Fortunately we have had lap fungi.

My dog was like the fuck are you reading is that a cat answer me and then he barked at the cat

Snug as a cat in a box.

Elvis is getting upset

Does this catpile reach catastrophic heights? Will they become catatonic? Or will they just be purrfect?

The only thing more snuggly than this , would be if they were all wearing their cozies, squee!

Lupin has quite a large belly.

This brings back beautiful memories of when we had a cozy cat pile of four….

I’ve got earworms

As I read today.

When I’m all stressed out

I read Santana and K.K.

. . . .

I’d guess you’d say

What could make me feel this way?

The Orb! (The Orb! The Orb!)

Talkin’ ’bout The Orb! (The Orb!)

. . . . . .

I’ve got so much Peace, the angels envy me.

I hear as sweet of songs as the birds in the trees.

Well, I guess you’d say

What can make me feel this way?

. . . . .

The Orb! (The Orb! The Orb!)

Talkin’ ’bout The Orb! (The Orb!)

Who is the reddish cat

They only stay with us for a short time, which is why we must enjoy them. (They probably could stay longer, but they’re cats, and must not be inconvenienced.)

When you see Josephine Louisa out of the corner of your eye in the coming months, that’s how you’ll know that she’s keeping an eye on you.
